34
Effects of FDA to mother
a. Increase risk of having blood transfusion following birth due to anemia b. Increased risk of hemorrhage due to thrombocytopenia c. Susceptible to infection
35
Increase risk of having blood transfusion following birth due to anemia
Due to immature / insufficient number of RBC
36
Effects of FDA to fetus
Increased risk of neural tube defects
37
Neural Tube Defects
a. spina bifida b. anencephaly c. meningomyelocele
38
Medical Management for FDA

42
Sickle cell anemia
a. Group of inherited rbc disorder b. Autosomal recessive c. No known cure d. Hemoglobin is not normal e. Hard, sticky, sickle shape f. RBC hemolysis early leading to anemia g. Tend to stuck together when travelled to small blood vessels which causes blood clot, crisis, acute chest syndrome, stroke h. Abnormal amino acid in hemoglobin creating an abnormal type of Hb called HbS i. Characterized by the production of rigid, sickle-shaped red blood cells j. Hemoglobin level 6-8 mg / 100 ml
43
Types of Sickle cell anemia

58
Splenic sequestration crisis
a. Pain, tenderness and swelling in spleen of patient due to blood being trapped in spleen of patient b. Commonly occurs to pediatric individuals
59
Aplastic crisis
a. Body doesn't produce enough rbc to replace that is already in the blood b. Trigger due to infection c. Paleness, body weakness
